that they are very numerous and easily
''bagged" in that region Of country. They
took along any noun Of fire arms and

There is a popularity about ladies' head
dressing which few men have discovered,
Notwithstanding their complaints with
reference to high hats at the opera and
their unjust and unwarranted assertions
that their wives must have new bonnets
to match those of the ladies in their set.
That popularity is that no two hats worn
by lovely women are alike. You may go
to any public gathering, Or watch the
passing throng all day, and you will not
be rewarded by seeing two hats that re-
semble each other, with q thousand to
pick from. Is it intentional? l presume
it is, upon tho part of the milliner. 1t is
only recently that l made this discovery,
and | have yet to find the pair of bonnets
or hats to match. There are hundreds of
h-.J If like shape, to be sure, but the deft
fingers of the milliner transform the orig
inal into an Undesirable confusion Of
effect, which cannot be initiated or du-
plicated, to please the purchaser Globe

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra liable
to the attacks OF malarial disease. The
most trifing exposure may. under such
conditions, infect a system which, If
healthy, would resist the miasmatio faint
The only way to secure immunity from
malaria in localities where it is prevalent
is to tone and regulate the system by
improving weakened digestion, enriching
the blood, and giving a wholesome i'm
petus to hillary secretion. These results
are accomplished by 70 hing so effectively
as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
long experience has proved to be the most
reliable safeguard against fever and ague
and kindred disorders, as well as the best
remedy for them. The bitters are, more
over, an excellent inviCorant of the organs
of urination, and an active depurent,
eliminating from the blood those acrid
impurities which originate rheumatic all

Experienced gun makers and artillerists
have recently admitted hat the steel rifle
has not fulfilled the promises made for it.
The Krupp guns, of which we hear so
much, have never yet been subjected to
such high p%ressures as have been applied
to cast iron guns, and experience has
shown it would not be safe to put them
through such tests. Indeed, the cast iron
smooth bore guns which have been con-
v.cl into rifles by the insertion of
wrought iron riled cylinders have been
fired under n pressure fully three times
as great as it has been thought advisable
to subject steel guns of the same caliber

A KANSAS QUAIL HUNT.
A sportsmnn's Experience on n Bright,
Frosty December Morning.


Frosty December Morning..
Seven years ago a friend called on me
one bright. frosty December morning.
he had his dog and gun with him. lie
wanted to hunt a distant field where
quail were plentiful. / told him that my
ground was the best in tho country, and
l declined to go seven miles to shoot over
strange ground. We decided to hunt a
low lying creek bottom, on which plum
bushes grew, and which was close to
cornlelds. My friend had urgent need
for forty birds.
SAM l said, "when forty birds are
killed we will stop shooting"
Forty grandmothers, ." he remarked.
81 mean it," l said. "We will get
them before we get through this plum
patch, which was about a quarter of a
mile long, and which lined both banks of
the creek. 1 crossed the creek, called
my eager dog back, pulled her ear, and
said, Go ahead, and go SLOW" She
worked steadily at slow trot. Suddenly
she turned and stood, with twisted head
and uplifted foot and horizontal tail,
gazing into a dense clump of bushes. 1
whistled w%arningly to my friend, and
then flushed the birds, and missed with
both barrels. The covey was exceed
ingly large. The birds flew into an open
space of an acre, where the grass was
about a foot high, and there scattered
widely. About the same time my friends
dog, a hcadstrong, stupid pointer, flushed
a covey, and they crossed the creek and
settled in the grass, scattering widely
also. l beckoned him. He crossed the
creek, and wished to advance at once to
the sport.
Sam" l said, "you need forty birds.
l don't like to say anything against your
dog. lie is the best prairie chicken dog
l ever saw, but he is a lunkhead on quail.
Tic him up. Let Queen beat this grass
for Us and we will get the forty birds"
My friend was indignant. But l coaxed
him into tying his dog to a plum bush.
We walked slowly to the grass. There l
took Queens soft ear in my hand, pinched
it slightly and said: "Be careful. Go
slow" and 1 cuffed her gently.
Tho intelligent dog began to beat the
ground. My friend shot to the right and
l to the left. What o hunt that wasl The
dog worked slowly and beautifully. The
birds lay to her well. Her face glowed
with pleasure. The shooting was sufH-
GENTLY brisk to keep the guns warm. The
lunkhead pointer howled his disapproval.
W. shot the grass patch over in twenty
five minutes. Each marked down his
dead birds as well as he could, and kept
count of the number. The last bird up
and killed, l turned to my friend, and
with an inquiring lift of my eyebrows
said: "WelI?'
II have twenty-seven down." he re-
piled.
"And I have twcnty-three," I said.
He toosened his dog and cried: Dead
birds, dead birds.'
The two dogs, envious Of each other,
worked q nailers are alleged to work,
and brought in bird after bird until forty
three quail were in u bags. The other
seven were probably winged, and escaped
by long and fast running. l never had
bat ono more enjoyable hunt than that

ed there were drawbacks in that land

Charlevoix will sure1y have a rail-
road. The surveyors have been out
now almost two weeks surveying the
Z. G. q u. rotte, and when the sur
vey is completed, which will be with
in ninety days, grading will begin
at once, and it is the intention of the
officers of the company to have at
least d part of the iron laid during
this year. They are concentrating
arrangements by which money to
complete the road will be furnished,
and thiI will be done without delay.
II. s. Beardsley the engineer In charge
of the sufvey reports very direct and
practicable route with easy grade from
Charlevoix to intermediate lake, and
finds no obstacles which will cause him
any particular trouble to surlnount.
There ism question about Charlevoix
being the most important town In the
state that has no railroad, aud consid-
ering the country through which the
line is to pass it cannot help being a
paying investment. Charlevoix is not
alone in pushing this matter. Ironton,
Bellaire, Kalkaska, and Grayling are
each as earnestly at work as we. We
believe that Charlevoix will have
railroad within 1887 And IL we get
this road we are sure of the @. g. w.

It looks as if the legislature would,

act is the insolent and hostile attitude

is an illusion. Michigan interests and
